please make me king

Chapter 1128
As for the effect of the new tactics of the rebel army, although Wei Congyi carefully selected riders who are good at riding and shooting, and trained them strictly for more than a month, in fact, he himself has no idea.

As a result, as soon as the two sides played against each other, his confidence immediately came out.

First fire with a volley of firecrackers, and then charge with a spear.

It's so simple, so unreasonable.

The cavalry on the opposite side belonged to the chieftain soldiers of the Lu family. Not only were they all carefully selected and skilled in martial arts, but they also had excellent armor and good tactical qualities.

In the past, they were conscripted by the imperial court, fought north and south, defeated the Tartars, destroyed the rebels, and fought against the Jurchen, and it is not in vain.

However, everyone is equal under firecrackers, and the newly equipped one or two firecrackers of the rebel army can easily penetrate most armors at a distance of thirty or forty steps.

The more than a thousand cavalry led by Ba Rong were only wearing the usual dark armor, clear armor, and chain mail. How could they withstand a couple of firecrackers?

Immediately, these cavalry shot a bloody hole, and they were shot and killed thirty or fifty people.

The powerful firepower caused panic among the cavalry under Barong's command.

However, when Rong was reprimanded and ordered to approach, more than a thousand cavalrymen of the rebel army rushed over with Zhangsixiao cavalry spears.

Due to the prevalence of firearms from the early Ming Dynasty, the cavalry weapons of this era have degenerated to a certain extent.

Thick and heavy weapons such as Zhangba Snake Spear and Horse Lance are used less and less, but some light and simple weapons are becoming more and more popular.

For example, the weapons used by the Mongolian cavalry, in addition to bows and arrows and waist knives, the commonly used hook and sickle spears are only six or seven feet long.

At the same time, the Ming cavalry was not much better.

Except for the waist saber, the broadsword and Yanyue saber used on horseback are only nine feet two long, and the line spear is about nine feet long, which is far shorter than the standard of Zhang Sixiao riding a long spear in the early Ming Dynasty.

Even if some soldiers were still equipped with Xiaoqi long spears, most of them were used with the barrels shortened.

On the battlefield, the strong bully the weak.

Wei Congyi's newly formed cavalry battalion used all the long spears of Zhang Sixiao's army, once they charged.Where are these chieftain cavalry opponents?

I saw that Wei Congyi shouted loudly, and rushed forward with his eight-foot-long horse.

The heavy horse lance coiled up and whirred in his hands, like a windmill.

"Kill!" Seeing Wei Congyi rushing over, the officers and soldiers couldn't help becoming ruthless.

"What are you afraid of, what can he do by himself!" Three or five people didn't care about being at a disadvantage, they just grabbed the thread guns in their hands and poked them in unison.

Line guns, which Qi Jiguang described as "five-for-five with waist knives", can't deal with Zhang Bama's spears, even Zhang Sixiao's army spears.

But seeing three or five spears poking at him, Wei Congyi turned a blind eye to it, and just continued to make the horse dance like a tiger.

"Bang bang bang!" Only the sound of guns and guns colliding was heard, and all the line guns were blown out by Ma Qiang.

As soon as the thread gun was exploded, the three or five riders immediately opened their doors.

"Death!" Wei Congyi pushed aside the enemy's spear in front of him, and stabbed Ma Qian forward, stabbing an officer and soldier.

The sharp horse spear pierced the breastplate of the officer and soldier in front of him with a "stab", piercing three or four inches.

If it was an ordinary person, under the action of this huge recoil, Ma Qian might have to let go.

And who is Wei Congyi?

Known as "the No. [-] horse in Yansui", is it a waste of fame?

Seeing the cavalryman fall to the ground, the horse's lance fell, and Wei Congyi turned his wrist, grabbed the lance's tail and pulled the horse's lance with horsepower, and then pulled it out.

At the same time, almost all the other chieftain cavalry had similar encounters.

Or before the line gun reached the rebels, they were stabbed and fell off the horse by the rebel cavalry;
Either it was a two or three cavalry fighting against the rebels, and a few blood holes were added to his body.

Fight unprepared with preparedness, use long spears to fight short spears, and use dense formations to fight loose formations. How can the cavalry of Lu's chieftain be the opponent of the rebel army?

Seeing the rebel cavalry swarming in like rolling rocks, Meng Meng smashed through Lu's sparse line and killed them directly.

"Damn it!" Rong Rong wiped away the blood spattered on his face, turned his head and saw that he had fallen seventy or eighty riders behind him.

Far inferior to human beings, but not as good as human beings near, what to do?
Ba Rong couldn't help but make a quick decision, and ordered loudly, "The thief is too ruthless, and he is good at charging, so he is invincible."

"That's why all the riders scatter into one sentry, fighting with the thieves!"

He is also a veteran of the battlefield, and he immediately thought of a solution.

It’s impossible to be near, and it’s impossible to be far, so it’s not far or near, right?

Wei Congyi and others only felt that their eyes lit up, and they had already killed through the enemy's formation.

He hurriedly ordered loudly: "Adjust the formation and load the gunpowder!"

Immediately, firecrackers are not as fast as bows and arrows, so it is necessary to adjust the formation time after the charge to reload.

In fact, loading immediately is more exhausting than loading on the ground, so the riding gun is shorter than the infantry gun to minimize the difficulty of loading.

The cavalry quickly dumped out the residue in the gun chamber, took out the fixed charge and poured it into the gun chamber, then wrapped the lead bullet with paper and passed it into the chamber with a cleaning rod.

The loading of the riding gun is different from that of the rifle, in order to prevent the ammunition from slipping when the muzzle is facing down.

Compared with the method of first filling the rifle with lead shot and then inserting paper, it is more convenient to wrap the lead shot with paper or rags and then pass it in.

Not long after, the rebels finished loading and adjusted their formation.

Wei Congyi looked up, and saw that the officers and soldiers had dispersed earlier, even more dispersed than before.

"It looks like it won't work!" Wei Congyi shook his head involuntarily.

The opponent's battle formation has already been deployed, so if the rebels charge intensively, not only will they not be able to find a point of focus, but it will also be easy for the opponent to avoid the edge and attack from the sides and behind.

"Okay, if he wants to fight, he can swim with them!" Wei Congyi looked at the cavalry on the left and right who were wearing armor modified in the style of blue cloth iron armor, and couldn't help but sneered.

As he gave an order, the rebel army immediately dispersed, divided into more than ten sentries, and rushed towards the officers and soldiers.

"Bang bang bang!" As the two sides approached, the rebel cavalry took the lead in shooting.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, wait for the thief to approach and make him look good!" Seeing the brothers around him being shot down one by one, the chieftain and cavalry generally encouraged each other, while shooting back at the rebels with their bows and arrows.

Many of them were skilled in riding and archery, they held three arrows between their fingers, and when they saw that the rebels were within range, they shot them straight away.

"Swipe, swipe!" A group of arrows swarmed, and there were many rebels in the face, but most of them were bounced off by the iron armor, and only a small part of them hit the horses and the limbs of the rebels.

"Kill!" The rebels were not afraid, leveled their spears, and charged again.

"Straight mother thief, you're doing it again!" Ba Rong couldn't help cursing in grief and indignation, throwing his hands behind his back, and almost passed out.
